The project's concept and mission

Kutonoca needed an identity capable of embodying the strength, warmth, and energy of its retail operations in the Angolan market. The central challenge was to develop, remotely, a visual language that would keep pace with the brand’s expansion and the launch of its children’s line, and set the standard for the shopping experience in its sector. The project transformed a retail operation into a benchmark for design and authority.

Practical Achievements

Delivery: Brand development, corporate campaign, point-of-sale materials, architectural signage, and a complete promotional identity.

The project’s development focused on creating a high-impact brand identity, with more than 300 designs developed and technical artwork finalized. The ByMariana method prioritized full integration between the physical point of sale and digital communication:

  • Visual Identity: Logo, exclusive mascot (“Palanquinha Kutonoca”), and brand identity system.
  • Signage and Architecture: A 50-meter-long facade, interior signage, and perforated panels for large windows.
  • POS Materials: Bags premium, personalized gift wrap, tags, vouchers, stickers, stamps, and box for sale.
  • Mass Communication: Billboards, gable signs, illuminated signs (light bulbs), flyers, and inserts.
  • Digital and TV: Online store design, more than 60 social media posts, and a 2D animated TV spot.
  • Campaigns: Special branding for Christmas and high-volume promotional campaigns.

Conquest and Transformation: ByMariana’s work established Kutonoca as a brand with high perceived value, boosting its market presence through world-class execution. The standardization of the experience—from employee uniforms to the 50-meter-long storefront—created a visual unity that transformed consumers’ perception of the brand. The result was a project that raised the bar for local retail, demonstrating that strategic visual positioning is the most solid asset for a business’s long-term sustainability.
